Hello Kingsway-Lambton Friends,
This year, Kingsway-Lambton received a special gift. One of our church family members wanted to
express gratitude to our church volunteers, so with the help of UCW 8, she staged the Legendary
Lightfoot Gratitude Concert as a thank you. We rocked the sanctuary on a September Friday evening.
In his kick off words, Reverend Don quoted these lyrics from Gordon Lightfoot’s song “The House You
Live In”:
“And the house you live in will never fall down,
if you pity the stranger who stands at your gate.”
The definition of pity is “compassion at the suffering of others”. Guess what? Compassion is one of
Kingsway Lambton’s core values. Gordon Lightfoot’s lyric is true. Kingsway Lambton’s house is strong
because of the compassionate service that our church family strives to give.
On that note, our Thanksgiving Outreach Campaign begins. Let us help the strangers who stand at our gate: the hungry, the homeless, those needing support – youth, seniors, and those with addictions. All
seven of our agencies* are right in our community, right at our gate. Please donate.
Compassionately yours,
Sandra
On behalf of the Outreach Team
